I continue to be impressed by Christina's skills in creating a realistic story line and capturing the reader right from the start. Character development is excellent. I loved every page of this book and look forward to the third in a series that has me hooked.
I really enjoyed this book, the mystery was intriguing, and Samantha and Christian’s chemistry was immaculate. I have always loved to “spy for the Crown” plot and this book is a great example. This book was interesting, easy to read, and consumable. I will definitely come back for a reread in the future.
